WORKING GROUPS AND RESEARCH ACTIONS

FP7 / ESF (European Science Foundation)COST has been an intergovernmental framework for European co-operation in scientific and technical research since its creation in 1971. Its goal is to strengthen the competitiveness of Europe's scientific and technical research for peaceful purposes. COST actions are excellent frameworks for innovative blue-sky research at the pre-competitive stage. The work is done with the internal budgets available at universities, with COST assuming a coordination role, and with commercial interests that support academic research. Short-term scientific projects, supported by industry and by COST, promote the exchange of researchers and doctoral research
